Burgundy Hautes-Côtes de Nuits — Elegance and Terroir Freshness

Discover Burgundy Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Wines

The Burgundy Hautes-Côtes de Nuits appellation is located west of the prestigious Côte de Nuits in the Burgundy region. Nestled on higher slopes, these vineyards benefit from a cooler climate and varied exposure, imparting a characteristic freshness and a vivid expression of the Burgundian terroir.

Terroir and Characteristics

The argillo-calcareous soils and steep slopes combined with a cool temperate climate are ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir for red wines and Chardonnay for white wines. This appellation stands out due to its elevated vineyards, producing wines with bright acidity and finesse.

Wine Profile

The red wines display a clear to deep ruby color with fresh red fruit aromas such as cherry, redcurrant, and raspberry, sometimes accompanied by floral, spicy, or lightly oaky notes depending on aging. On the palate, they offer a supple structure with lively acidity, ideal for early drinking but can also evolve over several years.

The white wines are fresh, light, and elegant, revealing aromas of citrus, white-fleshed fruits, white flowers, and subtle minerality. Their balanced and crisp palate pairs perfectly with delicate dishes.

Food Pairings

Red wines harmonize well with grilled meats, roast poultry, lightly sauced dishes, and mild cheeses such as Époisses or aged Comté. White wines complement fish, seafood, composed salads, and goat cheeses.
